Vanwall dominated practice with Lewis-Evans on pole ahead of Moss and Brooks. Behra shared the second row with Brabham while Hawthorn was again the fastest Ferrari, sharing the third row with Schell and Trintignant.

The race was held on a holiday Monday and a large crowd turned out to watch. Moss took the lead from Lewis-Evans, a fast-starting Schell and Brooks, who had been hit from behind and would stop for repairs after a couple of laps. This meant that fourth place was taken over by Salvadori. On lap 12 Schell was able to get ahead of Lewis-Evans but by then Moss already had a big advantage. Further back Behra overtook Hawthorn and Salvadori to move into fourth place although this would become third on lap 47 when Lewis-Evans went out with an engine failure. Moss thus led home Schell and Behra with Salvadori fourth, Hawthorn fifth and Allison sixth in his Lotus.
